Focus on Curriculum April
12, 2019
Jolly Phonics: We have completed all our jolly phonics
sounds. Now
we know the sounds of the letters and letter combinations: s, a, t, i, p, n,
c, k, e, r, h, m, d, g, o, u, l, f, b, j, oa, ie, ee, or, oo, ch, sh, ng, th,
ou, qu, ue, oi, er, ar, z, w, v, y, and z.
We
like to sing songs and do actions for each sound to help us remember
them. Remember to review the sounds we
have learned in the letter and sound packet, which shows all the motions and
sounds used to make each letter of the alphabet that we have learned this year.
It is for your reference so you can practice with your children each letter and
the sound of that letter.
Word Family’s: This week we worked on our short u family um.
We thought of words as a class that end in um. The students came up with (strum,
gum, drum, etc.)
Reading: This week we read Hey Little Ant. We added the poem Picnic Guests to our poetry binders.
Writing: We wrote about the
story Hey Little Ant. In our journals we focus on using a capital
letter to start sentences, proper punctuation, spacing between our words, and
the neatness of our writing. We also
reread our writing to make sure it makes sense.
On each page of our writing journals we have a check list to double
check our writing.
Popcorn Words:
This week we cut out the popcorn words ran, must, went and black
and put them in our popcorn word bags. We keep our popcorn word bags in the
front sleeve of our green folder so we can practice our words at school and at
home. Please practice the popcorn words with your child
at home. The words are getting
difficult.
Math: We are working on area, graphing, and number bonds.
Social Studies: Our
Weekly Reader focused on all the different fruits and vegetables we grow and
eat.
